Buy as soon as it opens and it falls; sell as soon as it opens and it rises? Don’t rush to blame the market maker—you might just always be making your move at the wrong time.
Many people lose money in trading not because they completely misread the direction, but because they love chasing. Seeing a big bullish candle, they rush in; seeing a sharp drop, they chase short. They enter when emotions are hottest, and right after they enter, the market starts to pull back.
A steadier approach is to wait for confirmation—don’t抢 the very first K-line. After a breakout, see whether price can hold. Enter only if a pullback doesn’t break. Going slower is fine; at least you’re not gambling with your own principal based on emotion.
And don’t place your stop loss casually at the previous low or near round-number levels, and absolutely don’t keep moving your stop loss farther away just because you’re afraid of getting swept. Before entering, think clearly about the maximum you’re willing to lose, then decide your position size and stop-loss level.
One more detail: don’t just watch the price—always look at volume. When price rises with increasing volume, it suggests higher participation from capital. If the price rises without volume, don’t rush to chase. When price falls with shrinking volume, you can observe; if volume spikes and the market is hammered, be more alert.
So if you always end up “buying and it drops right away, selling and it rises right away,” it may not be that the market maker is targeting you. It’s more likely that your habits of chasing highs, chasing lows, using heavy positions, and skipping confirmation are repeatedly setting you up.
Trading isn’t about who acts fastest—it’s about who can wait until a position that’s truly worth entering.
